New Abstracts

Working With Movement

I have been interested in the female form and dancers over the past several years, and see geishas and dancers in my abstract work, often emphasising them in my paintings.  I have included one of these below.

Princessa, 10 x 10 acrylic and lacquer on board

When Creating the following works for the faculty show my intention was to create the same sort of dancers by working with movement first.  I am pleased with the effort.

Collage

More Fun With Collage

Last spring my students and I created a number of collages that I found interesting and of course, fun.  We are at it again and I look forward to seeing all of their creations.  Here is my finished piece created in the spring from this assignment.

Navajo Girl, 11 x 14 Collage on Canvas

I am hoping to finish three more of these by the end of the semester and am working on  two more text collage works which I will add below when finished.  I  really liked the way the tree turned out.
